    Try that and see if it works.
    Then his key will be the wrong ohm value for the other BCM. VATS can be disabled in the LS PCM.

        turned out it was a ground issue of course. Fixed it. Now the fuel pump primes and I can connect to the computer with my hptuners.

        Car still wont start though lol

        will have to mess with it this weekend

          I just got my car back from Seattle.







          Looks like a rat rod...

          I'm debating whether or not I'm going to tackle the head gaskets myself or just send it to a shop.

          I'm going to be trouble shooting wiring issues for awhile but I have alot more time.

          Power steering stop leak worked. no more steering leak.

                    Well I figured out that the v8s have the fuel pressure regulator in the fuel assembly in the tank, while the v6 has it on the rail. Once I swapped over the fuel assembly from my donner car, it fired right up!

                      Should have just went with a Corvette fuel filter. That was the regulator built into.it and can fit the V6 lines

                        I had the donor car sitting in my driveway so swapping over the fuel lines from the v8 car wasnt a problem
